“He looks like a Southern colonel or someone you might have met on a riverboat who wanted to teach you this new game, “poker.” The face is handsome, the eyebrows dance when he talks.

It is when he talks that you know you’ve never met anyone quite like him. He’s an original, one of a kind, and thousands upon thousands of people have laughed as they never laughed before when he tells his stories—tales about the the most unique people who inhabit the our earth, the great Cajuns of South Louisiana.

. . . he is also an artist when it comes to cooking. He can work the same magic with fish and fowl, with vegetables and fruit, as he can with language.

He loves to cook. His mission in life seems to be to make people enjoy life, to make them laugh, and to make them eat.”
